Click the wheel down and pull the mouse up or down and smooth scroll! This great when you read long article.

That's a good one, bkpeck

My sons showed me that one a little while back because I was complaining about the clicky-click noises the mouse wheel made, while I was reading lengthy essays on the net. LOL

Some of the things you have said here do not work and some do but I think it is the program your using it in also because it has to support things.

Just got the new Logitect MX 1000 Laser mouse and it is cool the things it can do.
Love the Zoom, scrolling from side to side is great too.

You have to enable "smooth scrolling" under tools >>>options>>>advanced>>check enable smooth scrolling. Thats where it is on Firefox. I imagine its the same on IE

Ok I am using Netscape 7.01 here and I do see setting now that I looked in the perferences.
If I hold the alt key and click the scroll it takes me back a page.
Then I have other settings to play with too.

This is all new to me after having a 3 button mouse I had been using for 8 years getting a new mouse that has buttons all over it.

But I am loving it.

Thank you.

I'm a Midlander too. Hinckley.

A/A could be calculus but... what is it when you use it.

Aarhus, sorry cant reproduce it (Two green A*s overlapping with an arrow underneath)
it was a tip here in the past. When you click L/H mouse on it you get a sub menu with different print sizes that permit website print size options.
Someone will recall it.

We have got a Midlands Hinckley in UK too (smilie)

Hello foxfire,

That's the Hinckley I grew up in! Well to age 8, then it was Wellingborough and Market Harborough.

Thanks for the clarification of A/A.

Have a wonderful new year, foxfire.

Those were called: A Neat Zoom Trick. On another note:

Press and hold the (Num Lk key) for 7 seconds and see what happens. Might come in handy on the Caps Lock key.

Hold down NumLock for 5/7 seconds) Toggles the ToggleKeys on/off. Click on OK. Now everytime U press the Caps Lock key, it will beep. Handy to have:-)

Well,,,since I'm here. Here's a few more tips.

Place A Web Site Shortcut Icon On Your Desktop (IE) Right click your mouse on the Web page you want a shortcut to. Select Create Shortcut. Easy.

Also,let your fingers to the walking. (Outlook Express) If you want the Outlook Express address book in alphabetical order, click Name tab. You can also sort by E-Mail Address, Business Phone or Home Phone. (click View menu, Sort By for more options).

I need more - but first a confession. I know nothing about a keyboard ... if there were a way of living without it I would go that way.

I have my desktop showing with no visible windows.

I press and hold-down the NumLock key for 5 to 7 secs.

I let it go. I see the NUM Lock LED is emitting.

Toggles the ToggleKeys on/off - means/says??

Click on OK - Where? I see no OK to click-on.

I also can't get this trick to work. Does this only work with certain O/S?
